Overall Forecast

The Ox year will prove to be somewhat challenging one to Goats. The entrance of a negative star, the Grand Duke Star, indicates that Goats will need to be prepared to face quite a lot of challenges. But it's not all bad, as almost half of the year should yield positive results. It's a good year to move about and travel. Consider enjoying yourself in celebratory events so that you can lessen the impact of this negative star.

There is, however, one auspicious star that can prove to be of help. The Earth Relief Star represents the ability to solve problems, and it can change the negative to the positive. The Goat should face problems head on, or horns forward as it were. Despite the obstacles ahead, you'll be able to find a way to overcome these problems. The Earth Relief Star also represents the ability to move residences, renovate homes, or move furniture.

2009 does bring some negative stars for which you need to look out, the first being the Year Breaker Star. This star can herald the breakdown of networks you had formed before, due to something you said that might have offended people in power. It is not a good star for career and wealth in general.

The Grand Consumer indicates a potential loss of wealth. Goats should be careful about being cheated and refrain from making any investments. The Lan Gan Star places quite a lot of obstacles in your way, and you may find your goals and ambitions thwarted. But the Goat is nothing if not nimble in the face of challenges, so you're able to deftly maneuver your way around the rocky, mountainous terrain of life.

The Month Sha Star will bring the Goat problems brought on by women, while the Goat Blade Star indicates a risk of injury by metal-based objects. In 2009, the Goat should generally expect to endure difficult things at first - but on the bright side, conditions do start to improve later on.

Career

The Goat finally has the chance to change jobs this year, but it would be unwise to rush into the changes. Before you make the leap to your new place, ensure that you've already talked about and clarified the terms and conditions of the new position. It would also be beneficial for you to sign all the necessary documents with the new company before leaving your current one. For the Goats who don't want to change jobs, it might be worthwhile to request for opportunities to travel out of town for work. This will increase your luck and the chances of receiving help from Noble People. But the Year Breaker Star will make it a bit harder for you to receive help, as you might offend the people in power. it's best for you to mind your words and keep a lower profile, and focus instead on doing more work.

Wealth

The Great Consumer/Personal Breaker Star is a negative star that may influence you to spend more money, so be mindful of its effects. But this year brings changes, and one of it could be moving to another job and office location. This change might help you manage your wealth better. Goats will get some relief from the Earth Relief Star, as it heralds some help from Noble People. Even if you're in a bad situation, you'll be able to enjoy some good rewards. At the same time, the Goat needs to keep a watchful eye on its finances, or risk losing some money. The influence of the Year Breaker Star in addition to the Great Consumer/Personal Breaker Star indicates that you should refrain from making big investments.

Relationship

Goats will feel like ending relationships that don't have a clear future in sight (i.e., marriage). Those of you in close-knit relationships will also find yourselves arguing all the time over the most trivial of matters, and end up in a break-up. Even couples preparing for marriage are not spared the possibility of arguments, as they might find themselves in a fight whilst in the midst of arrangements and might call off the wedding altogether. In general, this year doesn't bode well for relationships, so the Goat must remain understanding and patient. Married Goats can avoid getting into fights by seeing less of each other, as spending too much time together can be a source of mutual irritation.

Health

Minor health problems are in store for the Goat, while the Goat Blade Star can cause injury by metal. It's a good year to invest in insurance as that can actually lessen the impact of the negative stars. You will be especially prone to injuries, so athletic Goats should avoid participating in aggressive sports. The stress you face during this year will also make it hard for you to maintain good sleep patterns.
